Steering system (LS) for at least one trailing or leading axle of a vehicle, comprising: - a
steering angle sensor (S α ) for measuring a
steering angle of wheels of a front axle of the vehicle, - a vehicle speed sensor (S v ) to measure the driving speed of the vehicle, - an
electric motor (1.2) driving a
hydraulic pump (2), - a working cylinder (11) for steering the wheels of the trailing axle, which is connected to the
hydraulic pump (2) via supply lines (7 and 7.1), - a
control unit (1.1) which uses the data from the
steering angle sensor (S α ) and the vehicle speed sensor (S v ) determines a
caster angle of the wheels on the trailing axle of the vehicle and controls the
electric motor (1.2) accordingly, - wherein the working cylinder (11) has a central position bore (11.3) through which
hydraulic fluid can be discharged from the working cylinder (11), - wherein the center position bore (11.3) of the working cylinder (11) is connected to a center position valve (12) through which
hydraulic fluid can flow back into an
oil tank (6), and - wherein a
piston (14.1) closes the center position bore (11.3) when the wheels of the trailing axle are in the straight-ahead position, characterized in that the
piston (14.1) has a
piston seal (14.2) and a
piston guide, wherein the center position bore (11.3) can only be closed by the piston seal (14.2), that the
piston guide is taken over directly by an area on the piston (14.1) and wherein
diagonal or axial grooves are introduced into this area, which ensure a sufficient flow of oil between the
piston guide and the cylinder tube into the center position bore (11.3), or that the piston (14.1) has a guide ring (14.3) for the piston guide, in which guide ring
diagonal or axial grooves are introduced, which ensure a sufficient flow of oil between the piston guide and the cylinder tube into the center position bore (11.3).
